Tucumcari continues to show it's stuff as a serious contender for the state title in 3A. They show great team speed and are very disciplined in how they execute to control tempo. Hats off to their boys and Coach Span.
That being said, I wish I could go to their next game--30 Jan versus Clayton. While a district game, both of these teams are built for a deep March playoff run. Taking nothing away from the Yellow Jackets, the outcome of this first district game will set the tone for the rest of their season. Having two of the top three teams in state play each other in district (twice) will make for one heck of a district season and championship. Throw in Santa Rosa who is also in the mix, and it gets even better.
